Summer in New England
Every summer brings a chance to go to Onset Mass and see Wendell and his family. This summer was no different but I got to do a lot more than my usual fly in and fly out.
Skydiving, you betcha! I flew in a couple days early to check out the DZ in Pepperell Mass. Small DZ for the most part, but the bonus was that they had an Otter. Well, not just any Otter, they had Otter Mike Fox from my DZ and that was pretty cool. It was AWESOME and very comforting having an old friend carry me to altitude. She did her job as always. See ya back in Texas in October.
DZ packing room. That is my pack job on the left right before I closed the container.
Stayed in New Hampshire while I was there. I ended up crossing the border several times going back and forth between my hotel and the DZ. Along the way I also got 15 minutes in the Skyventure Wind Tunnel in Nashua NH.
Thursday night was dinner with Dave, Heather, Adam, Matt and Paula. We have planned this dinner for a long time and it was great to finally meet my friends after so many years of gaming.
And this would be Adam's Mini - easily the coolest Mini I have ever seen. Behold Car47.
Back at Wendell's house, I did a lot of this.
And then I did some of this.
Unfortunately Chelsea and Darlene were not able to meet us this year but Brock and Rashaanda made it. The whole weekend at Wendell's house was really laid back and relaxing. We spent a lot of time running around with Wendell's kids and simply catching up. Saturday, the three of us went to Provincetown, the oldest city in Massachusetts at the most easterly point on the Cape.

Nice pictures my friend! Do you think I could get a copy of the group shot, along with that one of Heather and I? We don't have many good pictures of us, and that one is just super!
Also, if you're ever having a difficult time finding a place to stay for whatever reason, we have a spare room with a spare bed ready for you anytime you need it.
